Used Paiste Prototype 20 in Crash Cymbal

Used Paiste Prototype 20” Crash Cymbal

Description

The Paiste Prototype 20” Crash is a rare and exciting piece for drummers who appreciate unique tonal character. Paiste’s Prototype series was created to experiment with new sounds, weights, and hammering techniques—often in limited quantities—making these cymbals highly sought after.

At 20 inches, this crash delivers a bigger, fuller spread than smaller crashes, with a wide bloom and strong projection. Expect a bold attack followed by a rich, complex wash that fills the room without becoming overpowering. Prototype models often carry subtle tonal nuances—whether darker complexity, added shimmer, or enhanced articulation—that make them stand out from standard production lines.

If you're looking for a crash cymbal with character, depth, and a touch of exclusivity, this 20” Paiste Prototype is a standout addition to any setup.

Condition

This cymbal is in used condition and has been fully tested. It responds evenly with strong projection and musical sustain. Cosmetic signs of normal use such as stick marks or light surface wear may be present, but there are no cracks or structural issues affecting performance.
